Assia Brill's Pajaritas

[Misty]

I'm looking for diagrams to fold Assia Brill's pajaritas. Assia Brill is the wife of David Brill and she designed some models herself. The pajaritas in particular were exhibited at the Freising 2010 convention. Sarah Adams has posted some pics of the pajaritas in her site. The models I am interested in are in the 4 last pictures. Any idea as to where or how I can find diagrams for these models?? I tried contacting Sarah but I think she didn't answer back. Any help would be much appreciated

The first step of finding an origami model instructions:
Find out if they have a book.

She also exhibited these models in the last spanish convention.

It's the traditional "pajarita", with a certain ratio respecting the previous one.
I am trying to remember which was this ratio but I can't...
I will make some testings and hope to have some news about them

Hello Tyndall, welcome to the forum
I haven't ever seen a book solely by David Brill's wife, so you might be out of luck for that...
I have a question about Mrs. Brill's model. Is it from multiple pieces? Because if it is, you could fold pajaritas and connect them with tape or something or create a locking mechanism onto the back to stick them together. If it's from one square, then I guess testing is the best idea. Just from looking, they seem to me like they're decreasing by *maybe* a third? I'm probably completely wrong about this since tessellations/fractals aren't my strong point....
Hope you get lucky! And post some news (for I'd be very interested in how this turns out )

So it's time to give you some more information about Assia's Pajarita Mosaics and Tessellations.

She showed these originally in the Darwin Museum in Moscow 2000

She remade 10 new mosaic compositions for our Freising Confluence exhibition in May 2010

Five of these later appeared at the Centerfold events in Columbus Ohio August 2010

and at the AEP convention El Escorial Spain (May 2011)

We’ve made a Flickr set of some pictures of so you can see some of the possibilities.

The basis of all of these is of course the traditional Pajarita. Assia folds these very precisely, avoiding all unnecessary creases to keep the compositions as smooth and as neat as possible.

The mosaic patterns are glued to the mounting surface, although Assia experimented with non-glued versions by making slits on the surface and inserting the hidden “wings” of the Pajaritas into the slits.

Hope you enjoy these striking arrangements!
